One need only think about the bright and cheerful exuberance of the colour yellow in order to bring a smile to the face. As one of the most commonly found colours in the floral world along with pink and red, almost any flower that one might desire comes in this happy hue. The colour associated with the sun and daylight, yellow enjoys popularity among many different flowers. A few of the more popular flowers with yellow varieties include roses, gerberas, chrysanthemums, tulips, orchids, freesia, and carnations. A few other flowers, such as daffodils and sunflowers, are found almost exclusively in yellow, and are mostly associated with this colour with their other varieties enjoying less notoriety.
Despite the happiness and joy implied in the colour itself, ironically, yellow flowers often have negative symbolism or meaning. Yellow roses, which can also mean friendship, can also mean jealousy, along with yellow hyacinth. Yellow carnations stand for disappointment and rejection, while yellow chrysanthemums can represent slighted love. In these cases, it is best not to focus on the meaning of the flower, but in the beauty of the bloom itself. Some varieties do have more upbeat meanings, with the daffodil representing chivalry or good luck, the iris representing passion, and a gift of a yellow tulip can be a compliment to the recipient’s smile.
Yellow blooms are another variety that can stand well on their own but can also work beautifully with other flowers and shades. While a bouquet of sunflowers can make a delightful birthday present and an arrangement of yellow gerberas, chrysanthemums, and roses would brighten up the bedside of an ill friend, their bright beauty of yellow can be enhanced by the coolness of white flowers such as roses or gerberas. If you’ve got a newborn child in the family and are looking to avoid pink and blue in favour of something more modern and unisexual, yellow and white carnations or gerberas would make an excellent gift. The inclusion of one yellow rose with eleven red can mean love and passion, and the combination of yellow, pink, and orange roses can make a beautiful gift for a birthday or anniversary. Much like orange tulips, the combination of yellow tulips with white tulips can also make a lovely gift for many occasions, while the combination of yellow and blue blooms, such as sunflowers or yellow roses or gerberas with blue delphinium, is also stunning, and for a springtime treat, daffodils can be paired with iris or hyacinth. Yellow blooms can bring sunshine and joy to any gloomy day.
